Abstract

The use of the easily cleavable (dilute base) HCl2CCF2O in place of CH3O in the Torgov steroid intermediate completely inhibits solvolysis of the tertiary alcohol during acetylation and the derived acetate, via a (π-allyl)Pd complex, is extremely useful for the previously difficult alkylation of cyclic β-keto esters that are precursors of ring D in steroids.
